About this map

Neponset Reservoir and the expansive Big Meadow dominate the low-lying drainage of this corner of Rich County. This landscape is defined by its complex water management system, where the naturally alkaline Saleratus Creek and Dry Cr are augmented by human-made features like the Co-Op Ditch. The network of rural routes, including Home Ranch Rd and Main Ranch Way, underscores the area's agricultural and ranching heritage.

To the west, the terrain rises into a series of deeply etched drainages such as Home Canyon and Meachum Canyon, while Eagle Springs and Halfway Spring provide vital water points in the higher elevations. Small, distinct landmarks like Red Hill and Blue Grass Pond punctuate the basin, which is bounded by long-established hollows including Wheatgrass Hollow and Ashton Hollow near the northern border.
